Red Dust

CriticsCritics: 67
AudienceAudience: 6.5

A lawyer who grew up in South Africa returns from New York to represent a politician who was tortured during apartheid. As an amnesty hearing brings painful history back into view, the case raises difficult questions about truth, justice, and how a country can move forward.

My take

You may appreciate this if you’re drawn to emotionally intense legal dramas that explore justice, forgiveness, and a country reckoning with its past; not for you if you prefer light stories or fast-paced action.
